    Subject:  [WISH LIST] verb_index()

    Precedence: bulk

    Since it seems the debate goes into the details... let's add some more.

    Now that we have verb index by number (or should I say integer?), it
    would
    be nice that verb_info() => {owner, perms, names, index}

    and/or to have a new bf:

    verb_index(OBJ <object>, STR <name> [, LIST <arguments as per those
    returned by verb_args()>]) => INT <index>

    IMHO it would make sense to have server facilities to retrive the index
    of
    a verb given the name and the args...

    P.S. I know it can/is done in-db but the server version would probably be
    much faster than less clumsy...

    Think that can be great and in the way that the server
    already gone to evolve... Don't think too it take much
    time to implement... certainly less than from Db mainteners :)

    Just my 2 pennies...

    The contradiction is not that free software are among the best,
       it's that commercial software aren't the best of them.
